How can I migrate from a provisioned Aurora DB instance to an Aurora Serverless DB instance?
I want to migrate from a provisioned Amazon Aurora DB instance to an Aurora Serverless DB instance.
Resolution
Important: This resolution applies to Aurora PostgreSQL-Compatible Edition versions 13.6 or higher or Aurora MySQL-Compatible Edition versions 3.02.0 or higher. You must upgrade your provisioned DB cluster to use Serverless v2.
Before you add an Aurora Serverless v2 DB instance to your cluster, modify your provisioned DB cluster to include the ServerlessV2ScalingConfiguration attribute. Without this attribute, you can't use the db.serverless DB instance class. For more information, see Clusters that use Aurora Serverless v2 must have a capacity range specified.
To create a new serverless reader on the cluster, complete the following steps:
- Open the Aurora and RDS console.
- Add an Aurora Serverless v2 reader.
- Force a failover to promote the Aurora Serverless v2 reader instance to a writer instance.

You can, from supported DB Engine versions, add Serverless instances to an existing cluster OR convert provisioned instances into Serverless without disruptions.
